Zhou Daxin swallowed his saliva and said uncertainly:
"Mr. Lin, you really want to buy military equipment? Why don't you go to the Jialing Factory in Shuangqing City? They specialize in producing military-grade all-terrain vehicles."
Lin Sanqi sighed:
"Of course I can contact Jialing Company, but you also know that cooperating with a military factory like this requires them to conduct investigations, research, and ask for instructions from their superiors. The process can take up to half a year.
And if you buy their goods, they also need to clarify where you're selling them to, whether it will affect the country's reputation, and whether it will have a negative impact on geopolitics.
Oh my god, it's just a car, why is there so much fuss? I don't have time for this bullshit.
So, given a choice, I'm unwilling to work with them. I'm the client, so why should I spend money and still have to depend on others for what they say?
Zhou Daxin nodded and said with deep agreement:
"Yes, working with state-owned enterprises is indeed very stressful. They have so many rules and so many managers. If you don't make any money from a project, you'll be halfway to the end of your life."
After saying this, Zhou Daxin looked at the picture on the laptop again and said cautiously:
"Since Director Lin is open about it and has revealed everything to me, I'll be honest. Technically, Daisy Company has no problem producing the military-grade all-terrain vehicle you're looking for."
If it is a military version, we need better materials, more refined workmanship, and higher accessory parameters.
Just like the 8x8 all-wheel drive all-terrain vehicle that you, Mr. Lin, are particularly optimistic about, the rear of the passenger compartment can be designed as a power compartment.
A shelf can be set up at the front and rear of the vehicle body to facilitate the loading and fixing of some necessary combat materials and supplies, such as mortars, ammunition, etc.
Logistical supplies such as food and medicine can be designed to be stored in the middle of the vehicle."
Zhou Daxin pointed out his design ideas by looking at an all-terrain vehicle in the picture.
Lin Sanqi listened very carefully, while Yao Zhuohan quickly wrote down the words on paper.
"The roll cage between the front and rear passenger compartments can be turned into a weapon mounting rack, which can be used to install a machine gun or a grenade launcher.
We have designed two rows of buttons on the central electronic instrument panel and the left side of the steering wheel, which are fully functional and clear at a glance, making operation easier.
The two power ports on the right can also provide power for the radio, navigation system, or vehicle plug-ins to ensure sports communication functions.
Lin Sanqi had an idea of the car's appearance and asked another professional question:
"So, Jay Chou, what about the powertrain?"
Zhou Daxin also entered the working state at this time, his eyes were particularly bright:
"As for power performance, Mr. Lin, don't worry. I will use the best configuration and equip it with a YC4W85 diesel inline four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1.4 liters and a power of 64 kilowatts.
Combined with a five-speed manual transmission, our Shandong Cat can reach a maximum speed of over 80km/h.
Because the military version of the all-terrain vehicle does not pursue high-speed performance, we only need to emphasize the ability to pass through extreme terrain.
For example, can it easily cross a 1.2-meter-wide trench and possess amphibious capabilities? Can it easily climb a 70-degree steep slope, turn on the spot, and even float across?
Therefore, the biggest difference between the civilian version and the military version of the Bobcat is that the military version of the Bobcat is required to be able to travel on any terrain and can easily cross swamps, snow, mountains, forests, ponds, streams and other harsh terrains.
If the above conditions are met, this all-terrain vehicle can be widely used in special forces assault operations and border patrol missions."
Lin Sanqi was secretly delighted, thinking that this was exactly what Commander Cao asked for. It could be used for patrolling the Yunnan-Nan border and carrying out assault missions, perfect.
But he also thought of the conflict happening on the border of the Snow Region, so he reminded:
"Get me another batch of engines suitable for plateaus above 6,000 meters. Install them, and I might be able to use them."
Zhou Daxin nodded casually:
"That's no problem. I know there's a turbocharged engine specifically designed for plateau environments, but it's a little more expensive."
Lin Sanqi said indifferently, "The price is negotiable. I understand that you get what you pay for."
Zhou Daxin felt relieved upon hearing this, so he continued to introduce:
"The Lynx ATV can be airlifted by helicopter, making battlefield deployment more convenient and faster. Furthermore, we can also make a special design for the military version of the Lynx ATV's differential transmission:
That is, when any 8 tires are damaged at the same time, the vehicle's driving will not be greatly affected, thus maximizing the Bobcat's maneuverability and survivability on the battlefield.
Mr. Lin, do you think there is anything wrong with the design of my military version of the Bobcat?
Lin Sanqi gave a thumbs up and praised repeatedly:
"Great, really great. As expected, he's a former soldier, so the modifications he came up with are really professional."
Who would have thought that Zhou Daxin not only did not feel complacent, but instead looked very depressed:
"Alas, it's a pity that we can only produce the civilian version of the Bobcat, so it's useless to brag about it.
If we have the military authority, we can install a 120mm light mortar, an 81mm rapid-fire mortar, a 23mm chain gun, or a 107mm rocket launcher into the smaller body of the Lynx.
Just like this car, Mr. Lin, you see, the rear passenger compartment of this Lynx all-terrain vehicle can accommodate an 8-pack anti-tank missile launcher, and its firepower is quite fierce.
These designs, combined with the weapon configuration, will fully enable the Bobcat all-terrain vehicle to be equipped with different weapons and equipment according to the needs of different combat missions and perform various combat missions."
At this point, Zhou Daxin suddenly slammed the table, startling both Lin Sanqi and Yao Zhuohan.
"If we had this military-grade Lynx when we were fighting the monkeys, and equipped it with those weapons, we could have fought all the way to Saigon and completely wiped out those damn monkeys.
Alas, pity my comrades, they are so young..."
Lin Sanqi thought, the reason I came to Dongshan Province to buy mountain cats was to prevent more of our soldiers from being killed or injured.
Although there will always be casualties in war, Lin Sanqi feels that everything he does is worth it as long as one person is saved.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi became more determined to buy a Shandong cat.
It's a little cute, so let's transform it into a militarized one.
"Mr. Jay, then we can discuss the contract for the Bobcat all-terrain vehicles. As long as you are willing to modify them for military use, I will place an order."
Zhou Daxin was still worried:
"Director Lin, it can be changed. The technical difficulty is not too great. But regarding this country's policy..."
Lin Sanqi waved his hand and assured:
"Don't worry, Jay Chou. You're worried about something going wrong with selling the military version, but am I not afraid of anything going wrong? To put it bluntly, I have far more wealth than you, and I'm even younger than you. Why would I give up my good life and go into sewing?"
Zhou Daxin thought so too. As long as a normal person has a normal brain, he would not want to touch the high-voltage line.
Lin Sanqi smiled lightly and said confidently:
"I want a military version, not for domestic use, but for export. And the Lynx isn't equipped with weapons, so there won't be any policy issues. Domestic laws don't apply abroad."
I can also reveal something to you. I actually have a very good relationship with the military. Some time ago, I helped them find buyers for their J-7 aircraft, and they cleared out all of them.
Jay Chou, think about it, I even dare to sell fighter jets, so selling a Shandong Cat like yours, which looks like a toy car, is no pressure at all. I won't do anything illegal even if you ask me to do it.
After saying that, Yao Zhuohan showed Zhou Daxin the J-7 aircraft sales contract, which made Zhou Daxin feel relieved.
Lingnan Hall's reputation and status were there, so he wasn't afraid that Lin Sanqi would use a fake contract to deceive him, because there was no need for that. After all, Lin Sanqi had to pay, and it wasn't a debt-based business.
"Okay, Mr. Lin is straightforward. I'll take the order. How many Shandong Cat all-terrain vehicles does Mr. Lin need?"
Lin Sanqi scratched his head and asked, "I don't know the price of your Shandong cats yet."
Zhou Daxin laughed when he heard it:
“Don’t worry, Mr. Lin, this type of all-terrain vehicle is cheap. For example, this 8x8 all-wheel drive Bobcat is priced at 120,000 RMB.
If it's a six-wheeled Bobcat, we offer a cheaper price of 100,000 yuan. As for the four-wheeled and three-wheeled ones, the price is even lower.
Of course, if you want something like a modern car, where you want to change the cab from an open to a closed one, you need to improve the cab structure, increase its airtightness and heat preservation, and the price will be higher. For example, this one costs 160,000 yuan.
When Lin Sanqi heard this, he felt relieved. The most expensive one was only 160,000 yuan, and the common ones were tens of thousands of yuan. Isn't this the price of a big toy?
Just like the carload of jade that Commander Cao sent us before, a large piece of jade glass-type raw stone that could be made into 5 pairs of bracelets was sold for more than 50 million yuan.
Just one piece of raw stone can buy hundreds of Shandong cats. It's a good deal, a great deal. (End of this chapter)
